Using HTML - Details
Common Errors
Often when you create a page, what you see in the final product is not what
you intended or expected to create. Usually this is due to a typing error so
here are some pointers to assist you.
- Capital O and 0 (zero) confusion, especially when specifying colours.
- HTML uses American spelling: check you have used CENTER and
COLOR.
- Missing quotation marks (").
- Missing tag bracket, (> or <).
- Missing closing tag. If you wanted to embolden a line using <B>
and forgot to end the instruction using </B>, subsequent
text will also be formatted bold.
- Word merge: e.g. <IMGSRC=> instead of <IMG SRC=>
- Word fragment: e.g. <CELL SPACING=> instead of
<CELLSPACING=>
- Image won't load:
- check that the image exists, or is in the correct folder.
- check that the image name used in the <IMG SRC> tag is the
same as the name of the image,e.g. the target name might be
"history.GIF" rather than "history.gif".
